| Dreadzone Remixes on iTunes and TuneTribe | |||||||||||
|
22 Remixes of Dreadzone tunes from the Virgin Records years are now available to download from iTunes and TuneTribe. All the remixes have been previously released with the Dreadzone singles Zion Youth, Captain Dread, Little Britain, Life, Love and Unity, Earth Angel and Moving On. Tracks 79p (album £9.48) on iTunes or 89p (album £8.99) on TuneTribe. Unfortunately, nine tracks are not individually downloadable on iTunes, and you must purchase the album to get them, which is annoying to say the least. This appears to be a digital release only as there is no CD listed on the Virgin website. However, some of the more interesting and obscure remixes such as Cypherbahn Dub Mix of Captain Dread are noticable by their absence. Dreadzone were signed to Virgin Records between 1994 and 1998. |

| Dreadzone working on new material | |||||||||||
| Greg Roberts is currently in Malaysia and it seems to be inspiring him musically. Greg says "Malaysia is a good example of how different cultures can co-exist on a pretty even level - two albums are taking shape, one dread and one that represents our recent fusion of musical bonds and approach."
"My laptop (Apple G4 platinum 17") is the absolute essential item here; it's my studio, communication centre, cinema and connection to the work zone. Logic 6 has been the resource where I cast the samples and sounds into shapes that will emerge as releases of emotion and expression." Greg's full new years blog can be found on his myspace page (see links on right). |

"Dreadzone we will be carrying on and will be using this time away to regain strength and find peace before coming back at some point next year to put ourselves again into the world of music and people. The goodness of Steve will live on in our hearts and our music; he left so much of it behind that it will come out in many ways." He also hinted at some new music that is in progress... "I will have my trusty Apple Mac whilst abroad so will be hoping to keep in touch as well as working on finishing a whole heap of music that we started." |
